I am applying to study abroad from Australia to America next autumn/fall and this blog will follow my journey. I have always believed that the things that scare you the most are usually the most worthwhile. They give you confidence and allow you to grow and change.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Before I head off on a 6 month adventure to America, I have to make another much smaller but no less exciting trip to Canada, Vancouver! In 3 weeks and 1 day I will be getting up a 3am to take a 15 hour flight from Australia to North Vancouver and I cannot wait!

Someone once said to me that “To travel is to live” and so with nerves on my stomach and hope in my heart I will embark on what I think will be my first great adventure of many!
